Superstition Peak
January 30, 2016


The summit is the point to the left of the cliffs, as seen from the trailhead in the morning sun


Walking up the old road. We ascended the canyon to the right


The high saddle


We're almost at this high saddle. Hoodoos start to become more abundant


From the high saddle, the summit is still a ways away


Now a little closer, but not much


Now much closer


And even more closer


And yet closer still


The final scramble to the top


We made it


Weaver's Needle looks so puny from here


Looking northwest at No Name Peak and the Flatiron area


Descending amid the hoodoos


Ridge route and giant cliffs facing south


Descending back to the cars


Parting shot as we drove out


Montage: A delicate cairn, interesting hoodoos, spring-fed pools, and a shot of the summit
